| Additional information |
Irippo was a minor Iberian town whose precise location remains unresolved — candidates include sites in the Guadalquivir valley, though no identification has achieved scholarly consensus. The town struck a small autonomous bronze coinage during the late Republican period, almost certainly under Roman authorization, as part of Rome's broader policy of permitting Hispanian municipia to produce fractional bronze for local exchange while silver remained a Roman monopoly. The series is rare in any condition, with surviving specimens turning up almost exclusively in Andalusian archaeological contexts.
